Runs on coffee and sarcasm.








These very nasty attacks on the state pension are unrelenting, particularly from this former Tory MP and @GBNEWS presenter. These people want it either scrapped altogether or only available to the very poorest. But all who have made the requisite National Insurance contributions have a RIGHT to a decent state pension. It’s a moral issue too. The elderly deserve a decent life in their remaining years. Indeed, looking after the elderly properly is the hallmark of a humane and civilised society. The anti-state pension activists are truly despicable.

@Landeur I think pensions have to maintained for those who already paid into the scheme in full …which went out the door to pay pensions to those already in receipt. We can’t just declare it can’t be paid! We need to fix the broad public purse first then it becomes affordable.


Welfare spending has overtaken tax revenue for the first time in UK history. The Treasury raised £331bn in income tax last year, while the state spent £333bn on welfare.







More than 12 million pensioners will see their state pension rise 4.8% today under the triple lock. But the government has been accused of doing too little for working-age households so is it time to scrap the triple lock?
